SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

[The Yeti]

@Vlad1: Not sure if it has been mentioned/discovered before, but this may be another item for the 2.1 bug list: whenever I exit from the menu, I'm in the M1 preset.

Test:
- Select preset M2
- Enter the menu (5 clicks)
- Exit the menu

What preset is selected?

I can duplicate this with 2.21. I'm not sure if ver 1.4 was the same or not. I'm also not sure if it's by design or a bug but I'll add it to the list. Can anyone with 1.4 and 2.1 verify please?[/QUOTE]

I can confirm that this does NOT happen on 1.4 (am I the only one here waiting for the "bug free" update? ).

No matter which Mem mode I am in, if I enter the menu then exit the device stays on the Mem mode and power setting I was at before entering the menu.

I can't remember which group it was, but some one posted an email that boiled down to - Try this but please don't redistribute.

OK, good to know. I might try to download it later today.

Thanks

It could be YiHi is a little more confident after early Beta testing with a few individuals and now want to expand the Beta to a wider spread of users to confirm the changes in the release before going officially live with the firmware. Pretty typical of Beta programs, so hopefully they are getting a lot more feedback to ensure a quality release.

Guys I need some quick advise. Do you use pure vodka for your ultrasonic cleaning? I have found a few stains using washing up liquid so will try some vodka. But this seems a very expensive way to clean.

I still have not given up on my kayfun V4s with my SXM! Vodka mabe the answer to all my problems

To make sure we are duplicating this correctly, this is the exact process.

Go into memory number 2 through 5, doesnt matter which by pressing the Up button while not in the menu until you are at a memory other than M1. Make a mental note of which memory setting you choose, this memory setting should be the one it returns to on the last step of this process.

(optional) Immediately press the down button while looking at M2-M5 and change the Joule setting to 5J and then press the fire button to lock it to that memory setting.

Now press the fire button 5 times to go into the menu, then press the fire button three more times to go to Exit, then press the Up button to exit the menu.

Now press the Up button ONCE, it will put the device into memory location ONE instead of the memory location you previously chose in step 1.

I can confirm this bug exists in 1.4 and 2.1, cannot confirm it exists for the beta since I do not yet have the beta firmware, nor do I care to document the beta firmware as it is not out for public consumption, if they make the beta available on their website as a publicly available download, even if its listed as a beta, Ill document it.

No, you are not the only one waiting. I'm basically happy with 1.4 and I like the gravity sensor so unless there's a really great feature in an update I'm in no hurry to apply it. The little improvement in battery life is good but not a huge deal to me.

 

[littlewierdo]

The only other thing that is noticeable is that the temperature control is more accurate. The bugs introduced are not that big of a deal once you know how to deal with it.

So you use the gravity sensor in the menu, to change watts, etc, etc? Not just for the screen flip?

So, Ive just found another psuedo bug, if you set your temp to 400 degrees Farenheight, then press your power button once and change to Celcius and then back to Farenheight, then press the fire button multiple times to cycle all the way back around to the temperature, your temp will be set to 399 instead of 400. Probably not exactly a bug but worth mentioning. Not going to list it officially since it would be tricky to fix this, its a flaw in the conversion process from Farenheight to Celcius (either the official formula or the formula they are using) and the only fix would be to store the set temperature briefly until the user locks it into place.

This is by the way the reason that Celcius vs Farenhieght should be MOVED in the menu to after the Exit On setting, once a user sets their preference for Celcius vs Farenheight, they should have no reason to change it again.

Frankly, the options aside from Joules / Watts / temperature and the Joules&Watts mode should really be moved into a separate menu accessed by pressing say the fire button and the up button together.

So, pressing your fire button and up button accesses your settings for the device, these settings would include the following, probably in this order:

Temperature C/F
Display Left/Right/Auto
(New feature) Screen timeout 1s-60s
Sensor On/Off
(New feature) Watts increment .1,.2,.5,1
(New feature) Temperature increment 1,2,5
Link On/Off
Exit On/Off

Pressing the fire button 5 times would produce a shortened menu with the following five menu options:

Power&Joules Joules\Power
Joules\Watts 5.0-50.0
(This setting only would appear if set to Joules mode) Temperature 212-572 (Farenheight) 100-300 (Celcius)
Exit On/Off
System On/Off

I use it myself especially when toggling between joules/power mode and exiting menu-- allows me to make changes one handed without having to change my grip to hit the up/down buttons

That's because the closest whole degree Celsius to 400 degrees farenheit is 204, and the closest whole degree farenheit to 204 degrees Celsius is 399. Changing from 400 degrees farenheit is 204.44444, which the device rounds down to 204. Changing back from 204 Celsius is 399.2 farenheit, which is rounded down to 399. I'd expect the same behavior at some other temperature settings as well.

Oh sure, I was just mentioning it for the sake of completeness, its a flaw in the formula and the fix would require using a temporary variable which isnt worth the time. Besides, I wouldnt notice the difference between 399 degrees and 400 degrees which is why increments of 1 degree changes are silly, by the way, the same goes with wattage, who needs .1 increments in wattage?.

This does NOT happen on mine. I just double checked and it is version 1.4.

After I go through all the steps and then hit the up button ONCE, it takes me to the memory location I PREVIOUSLY CHOSE in step 1, not memory location ONE.

Yea it only appears to show in firmware versions with Eco mode. Not 1.4 from what I can tell.

Is Vodka the answer?! Thanks for pointing out those Efests in April they sure are a killer!

Vape on!

 

[AmandaD]

It would cost a fortune to use vodka in the UC LOL I use hot water and a tiny bit of dishwashing detergent. Cruddy stuff may need several cycles, but it works beautifully!

 

[druckle]

How I clean ....warm water / detergent....GOOD rinsing in warm water then if I have questions, I pour some isopropyl alcohol over it to rinse again. It only takes a small amount of the alcohol (and it's cheap) I am just sure it is totally dry inside and out before vaping with it. Isopropyl alcohol is NOT good to breathe.

 

[2legsshrt]

Whats a GCT and TCT I can kind of figure out TCT

 

[2legsshrt]

I can see it is Temperature Control but who made it.

Legs.....I'm warning you....Do NOT click these links. The way you collect STM's its gonna cost you a C-Note if you do.

[2legsshrt]

Nah I like making my own coils. Don't like buying them. Not a cloud chaser either. I am really happy with the STM and I have all the extra parts I need just in case.
